Abstract
Bad smells are symptoms of problems in the source code of software systems. They may harm the maintenance and evolution of systems on different levels. Thus, detecting smells is essential in order to support the software quality improvement. Since even small systems may contain several bad smell instances, and considering that developers have to prioritize their elimination, its automated detection is a necessary support for developers. Regarding that, detection strategies have been proposed to formalize rules to detect specific bad smells, such as Large Class and Feature Envy. Several tools like JDeodorant and JSpIRIT implement these strategies but, in general, they do not provide full customization of the formal rules that define a detection strategy. In this paper, we propose FindSmells, a tool for detecting bad smells in software systems through software metrics and their thresholds. With FindSmells, the user can compose and manage different strategies, which run without source code analysis. We also provide a running example of the tool. Video: https://youtu.be/LtomN93y6gg.
